People give you their seat in public transport?

But also I must say this is one of the strangest questions ever. Hope you're not a "transabled" wannabe.

[–] Scarronline@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Lol no I'm not transabled. I didn't even know what that was, had to Google it.

It crossed my mind because when I sleep I always feel my arms get in the way, thought it would be great to detach your arms for sleep. Then I wondered if people without arms have a noticeably more comfy sleep because they can lay on their side without their arm/s getting in the way, thought continued to other hidden benefits of missing limbs.

[–] WhoRoger@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

There's a girl on YT who has one arm and said exactly that - "I don't know how you people with two arms sleep" I think.

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

You'd need to keep at least one arm for scratching, and reattaching the other arm.

Lol, I like you tought process

He's probably just really into amputee porn.

I'm really, really good at throwing garbage into the can from across the room so I don't have to get up.

My dad lost half a middle finger from a horse riding accident. He trolls people who don’t know by sticking the nub up to his nostril as if he had half a finger up his nose

You can do this with slight of hand by bending your finger at the knuckle too FYI

[–] BloodyFable@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Where's your commitment to the bit

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I guess I'm just pretty attached to my fingers.

This might be more or less expected, depending on your regional healthcare system, but on behalf of a colleague, I'd like to say: Terminator arm.

[–] Scarronline@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Bionic limps, especially legs do look cool! I mean I obviously wouldn't want to lose a limb, but a far as replacements, they're certainly a step up from wooden peg legs and other dated alternatives.

Ince bionic hands get the same level of sophistication and function as flesh and bone hands, it would be a fantastic alternative for those that need it
